c - How can I correct this printing output issue? -

for homework assignment, wrote code in c print out permissions , file name of files stored in achive file. code compiles, reason, name of second file returned in new line.

here how output looks in terminal:

rw-r--r-- 501/20 1-s.txt         rw-r--r-- 501/20  2-s.txt        (empty blank line here) 

this how want output look:

rw-r--r-- 501/20 1-s.txt         rw-r--r-- 501/20 2-s.txt  (no empty blank line here) 

can take @ code , give me tips on how fix code? suspect it's related way read , select file name (using my_ar.ar_name), can't figure out how fix it. thank time.

you don't want new line printed? don't print it!

remove this:

printf("\n"); 

it placed @ end of code.

edit

i gauss don't want remove completely, want print anytime except last time.

if (ftell(fp) != tot_file_size - 1) {     printf("\n"); } 

edit v1.1

i ran code under linux mint 13 after improvment. output:

rw-r--r--a.txt/          rw-r--r--b.txt/  

this format want, isn't it?
